HappyXīXī — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

This is my 2nd visit cuz I did enjoy the desserts that my friends and I had 1st time around. Look, I don’t wish to be petty, but tonight, the condescending and disrespectful behavior from that 1 particular crew really left me shocked and annoyed.

I double checked if the restaurant closes at 11pm, indeed it is. By 10.30pm, this lady staff had started lifting the chairs with loud bangs on the tables. I mean it’s totally OK to ask us to settle our bill first by 10.30pm so that the cashier can close the till, but we didn’t appreciate the passive-aggressive act of stacking the chairs on tables. We all know what that MEANS…

I did work in F&B restaurant at the mall. Let’s say the restaurant “closes at 10pm”, it usually means the staff would start doing light cleaning at the front-of-house and deep cleaning in the kitchen by 9.30pm after the last-call, then customers would be allowed to finish up and leave by 10pm. After that, only will the staff start flipping/stacking the chairs on the tables, do final cleaning, and leave the shift? That’s why restaurant staff usually leave the malls/premises 30mins or an hour after the closing time.

So I would kindly suggest, if the owner wishes their staff to leave at 11pm sharp, then why not just change your operation hour to 10.30pm?! At least my friend and I (and the table behind us) don’t need to feel like we’re being rushed out of our seats.

Altho I did enjoy the mediocre desserts, I don’t think I’d revisit again for the 3rd. If u plan to go there with your friends to have late-night desserts, u better start leaving by 10.30pm before u get...

The food was not bad but not as great as I was expecting it to be considering that this place has a 4.8 star review (apparently there was a time where customers could get free desserts when they leave a good review).

The pork cutlet noodles were not bad. The pork cutlet was crispy and the black fundus side dish that it came with tasted really nice 👍 The lychee cooler that I ordered was not bad as well but nothing too special about it. Perfect if you want something refreshing to drink.

However, the creamy truffle chicken rice was quite disappointing. The fired chicken was good but that was the only thing good about it. The truffle sauce was too sweet and since truffle has such a strong smell to begin with, it made it a little nauseating to eat. They also put a thousand island sauce DIRECTLY ON the rice (the rice also had sweet soy sauce on it) which was also sweet so the entire dish ended up being too overpowering. I really struggled to even swallow the dish the entire time I was eating due to how nauseatingly-sweet and pungent it was.

Overall this place is average and I don't regret trying but I doubt I would return...

Price 5/5 Taste 4/5 (will explain later) Ambience 5/5 Noise 3/5

We had black sesame shaved ice, happy nut croffle, croffle & ice cream and mango sago supreme (no picture for the sago cause we ate it dy).

The black sesame was really smooth and strong 🤤 with coconut 🥥 ice cream at the top (snowfl*ke prolly charges more than 20 for shaved ice with ice cream!) but theirs is 12.90.

The croffle topping was a good portion butttt the croffle themselves were cold and chewy.. not into it lol 😂.

The sago full of mango-ness but was too sweet for my liking, depends on each person ig.

Noise level was a bit unbearable because they don’t have absorbers to balance the noise bouncing off the concrete :/

Full disclosure that this place does a giveaway promo for google reviews - guess they’re confident enough to ask people to...
